NEVER use FedEx to ship anything; they are the most unreliable incompetent co. With my pkgs from IKEAs; I got a misdelivered pkg for pool supplies for someone in ANOTHER Cdn city 2 HRS AWAY! I've been trying for 2 DAYS to get them to pick up this misdelivered package but NOTHING happens! #FedEx

RAJ: "If you read the National Security policy, they view Canada as a client state and that is that is how the White House wants Canada to exist. And so everything that Canada does to suggest that it's pulling away from the orbit of the US is a threat to Donald Trump."

A BRIDGE NOT TOO FAR!! 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸 Facts: Canada did pay 100% of the cost .. even buying the land needed on the USA side .. they used both american & Canadian steel and workers then gifted 1/2 the bridge to Michigan Everything Trump posted is a lie … every fucking word How unfair of us … 🤦‍♂️🇨🇦💪

Viola Desmond's story was forgotten for years until her sister Wanda Robson brought it back to light with Graham Reynolds. Today, Desmond's civil rights fight is known nationwide, and she is on our $10 bill. This is her story. 🧵 1/12

A colorized studio portrait of Viola Desmond from the shoulders up, facing forward and looking at the camera. She has dark hair styled back with a soft curl at the front, light makeup, and dark lipstick. She is wearing a light blue blouse with a rounded collar and a decorative brooch or clasp at the neckline shaped like a small gold-toned motif. The background is a smooth, pale beige tone, and the lighting is even and soft.

If Jivani wants to "help" Canada, why has he not said anything about the closure of GM in his own riding? Melanie Joly points out that Ingersoll's GM plants has been closed for 4 months now & Jivani has said nothing. He's a performative meddling MAGA quisling. #cdnpol www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Joly wonders if Conservative MP Jivani spoke about 'closure of GM in his riding' on U.S. trip

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said she hopes Conservative MP Jamil Jivani spoke about the closure of the GM plant in Ingersoll, Ont., in his riding, during his trip to Washington this week. 'Ingersol...

This is the only article written by a USian that describes how Canadians feel about the US & the destruction of our relationship under Trump. Most USians assume they understand Canadians; this past yr has shown how little they understood. Now we question the depth of this so-called "friendship".

"There’s no talk about a mutually beneficial relationship; Canada, Trump says, is not even a vassal state. Its very existence is dependent on the US, which means it is dependent on him personally. 'Canada lives because of the US,' he says, like a domestic abuser sneering." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

If you rewatch this interview (Jan 2025 before MC formally became a politician), the references to Greenland & Venezuela are uncanny. I remember thinking Stewart was a better interviewer than mainstream media. Also it showed that Mark Carney is very witty, not a stuffed shirt banker as I assumed.

So great to see a Leader with a sense of humour! Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 responds to Trump's annexation plan: "It's not going to happen." #cdnpoli

ICE murdered again in Minneapolis. Videos are all over BlueSky. Turn off autoplay on in your mobile app and/or computer app (you have to do it separately) if you don't want to see it over & over. There are descriptions of the video & if you do choose to watch it, it will be your choice.

If the will of one man is all it takes to invalidate the U.S. constitution in one year, there can be no trust placed in the U.S. for generations after that man is gone.

Canada is imperfect but we are making progress overcoming discrimination, racism & injustice. I knew about Berton's expose of the treatment of intellectually disabled children at an Orillia institution but I did not know about this column. #Canada must keep working to be a more inclusive society.

John Turner correctly warned Canadians about the consequences of free trade with the U.S. #cdnpoli His concerns were rejected by Canadian voters at the time, and his political career never recovered. Turner might be the most vindicated Canadian PM of all time.

PM Carney invoked Václav Havel to warn against “living within a lie” — the quiet compliance that sustains unjust systems. His message was clear: power persists when people go along to get along, and it breaks when even one actor refuses. 🎥 Credit CPAC Live / YouTube ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️
